Boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation in three-dimensional half-space. (English) Zbl 1487.35280

Summary: We consider the nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation on a three-dimensional half-space by perturbing around a Maxwellian under the assumption that the Mach number of the Maxwellian satisfies \(\mathscr{M}_\infty < - 1\). In earlier works by S. Ukai et al. [Commun. Math. Phys. 244, No. 1, 99–109 (2004; Zbl 1083.82028)], nonlinear boundary layers of the Boltzmann equation in a half-line are considered, in a half-line are considered, the stationary solutions were obtained and nonlinear stability was confirmed. We establish the existence and uniqueness of stationary and time-periodic solutions for the three-dimensional half-space model and show that these solutions are asymptotically stable.
